I AM AT A LOSS RIGHT NOW--I Knew Kortneigh McCoy (student at Frostburg killed)

As I wipe away the tears from my eyes, I have to post that I knew Kortneigh and her family rather well.
I have heard her sing in church, felt her hugs, and 'broken bread' with her on several occasions. I've
even had the privilege of watching her grow up. This is senseless...and has got to stop.

I heard it on the radio on Monday but didn't put two & two together...and then I heard Jeff Johnson
on the TJMS give his commentary today...and when Jeff said that he knew her...it clicked in my mind. OMG...
I broke down in my livingroom...tears just flowed. I called her godmother/my sawrah hoping she was
going to tell me it's not true...but said it was true. Sheets of tears streamed down my face...
and the crying jags come & go.

I'm going to sit with her mom & sister now. What do I say? What do I do? I can't take this but had to get it
out right now...and put in in the 'safe place' called DHP...so I can put on 'game face' for a grieving mother
and sister.

Thank you, DHP, for allowing to post this...and know that this is more cathartic for me to post than anything
else.

"MAY YOU LIVE AS LONG AS YOU WANT, BUT NEVER WANT AS LONG AS YOU LIVE. MAY YOU LIVE TO BE 100, & ME 100 BUT MINUS A DAY, SO THAT I'LL KNOW THAT NICE PEOPLE LIKE YOU, HAVE PASSED MY WAY. AND REMEMBER, WHEN FRANKIE CROCKER ISN'T ON YOUR RADIO, YOUR RADIO JUST ISN'T REALLY ON."

Wow, I was just reading about it in the paper... so senseless. Only a few weeks ago a 19 year old girl was stabbed to death at Bowie State by her roommate now this.. young sistas lifes' ruined over what

Lately, it's gotten to a point that I have to take a deep breath before I open the newspaper in the mornings on the subway rides to work. I personally know several people who have been involved with some kind of tragedy.

Thank you all...for the outpouring/allowing the safe space...it really helped me out...so that I could be there for the family. They are showing amazing faith & strength...and if they were reading this...THEY WOULD SAY THANK YOU!

The student at Bowie State worked for my company during the summer, and I know her mom. She works with us as well. Very sad situations both of them.

Sorry to hear this...but she was following her conscience and trying to help...there is a bit of comfort knowing that she was doing good, doing the right thing...I hope. My condolences to you and to her family.
